Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

graphdb-mcphub-gateway

v1.0.4

Published

MCPHub Gateway for Claude Desktop, supporting Authorization header passthrough.

Readme

GraphDB MCP Server Gateway

Forked from lightconetech/mcp-gateway

This version adds support for passing an Authorization header to the backend MCP server.
Renamed to graphdb-mcphub-gateway to distinguish GraphDB-specific adaptations.

A gateway service that bridges the stdio-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation in Claude Desktop with HTTP/SSE-based MCP servers. This solves the protocol compatibility gap since Claude Desktop currently only supports stdio-based MCP servers. See the discussion here.

Why This Gateway?

Claude Desktop App currently only supports stdio protocol for MCP servers, while many MCP servers use HTTP with Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport. This gateway acts as a protocol translator, allowing Claude Desktop to communicate with any HTTP/SSE MCP server by:

  1. Accepting stdio input from Claude Desktop
  2. Converting and forwarding requests to HTTP/SSE MCP servers
  3. Converting SSE responses back to stdio format for Claude Desktop

This fork adds support for passing an Authorization header via environment variable, useful for secured backends like GraphDB.

Installation

Install the gateway globally using npm:

npm install -g graphdb-mcphub-gateway

By default, the original gateway connects to the public MCP Hub at https://server.mcphub.ai/api/mcp, which provides access to various pre-configured MCP services.

In this fork, the default endpoint has been changed to http://localhost:7200/mcp, which corresponds to the default GraphDB MCP server URL (assuming GraphDB is running on its default port).

export MCPHUB_SERVER_URL=https://your-secured-mcp-server.com/mcp

Authorization Header for Secured GraphDB MCP Server If the gateway will communicate with a secured GraphDB MCP server, set the following environment variable to pass an authorization token (e.g., Bearer token or API key) via the Authorization header:

export MCPHUB_AUTHORIZATION_HEADER="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
